Bursary

Your bursary amount depends on your household income. This can be your own income, your parents’ income, or that of your partner, spouse or civil partner.

If you started a Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE) Nursing or Operating Department Practitioner course before 1 September 2012, you’ll receive a basic bursary which does not depend on your household income.

If you’re studying to become a doctor or dentist, you can apply for an NHS bursary from your second year for graduate entry programmes or from your fifth year for undergraduate programmes.

Grant

You’ll get a fixed amount of £1,000 if you’re an eligible full-time NHS student starting your course on or after 1 September 2012. You’ll get a reduced amount if you’re a part-time student.

You must apply for an NHS bursary to get the grant.

Maintenance Loan

You’ll get a reduced Maintenance Loan. The amount you get depends on:

where you live and study

whether you’re in the final year of your course (when you get less)

Currents rates for the 2017 to 2018 and 2018 to 2019 academic years are:
